A portion of your purchase is donated in your name to marine conservation nonprofit organizations such as Maui Ocean Center Marine Institue (MOCMI), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose efforts are to inspire lifelong environmental stewardship and ensure the survival of coral reefs and sea turtles in Hawai’i through science-based conservation efforts, education, and outreach.
Your Nā Hoa Kai annual membership supports efforts to educate our visitors and residents to conserve our precious natural resources here within Maui Nui (Maui, Moloka`i and Lana`i).
In 2016, the Marine Institute at Maui Ocean Center (501c3 non-profit organization) was established to rescue, rehabilitate, and release threatened and endangered Hawaiian sea turtles, maintain a repository for rare and endemic Hawaiian corals, and provide educational opportunities in marine sciences and conservation at all levels.
